Today we will be talking about the Triad of Mens Violence. The three parts to this discussion is violence against women, violence against other men and violence against themselves. The author argues that being a male athlete makes you feel dominant and more in control then non athletes. Male athletes that are the center of attention feel like they need to prove something or live up to a certain expectation. Silent majority is a large group of people who do not express their views publicly and would rather stay quiet about something they know is wrong the have their peers think poorly of them. I believe the Triad of mens violence is still alive but not as much as it was 10-15 years ago. In todays professional sports we still see people committing violent acts against others. for example Ray Rice and Floyd mayweather. I believe it is something we need to work on as a society by providing better role models to our future athletes. The mens triad of violence is slowly coming to a end.
